a lot of people on this board recomend precision industries. I have never used ther product but if i were to get a converter it would be a vigilante.. Whatever you do, do not buy the run of the mill B&M, or TCI etc..

Converter price is based on the quality of the converter. It is one item that you really do get what you pay for. A cheap converter is also an inexpensive converter. The better a converter is made, the more expensive it can get. A good full race converter can cost over $1000 while a typical stock replacement converter is less than $200.
Stall speed depends on a bunch of factors. Powerband of the engine, camshaft, rear end gearing and tire size will all determine the best stall speed to get. Typically a basic stock vehicle will be happy with a 2200-2500 stall speed converter.
The stall speed of a converter depends on how much torque is put into it. A converter than stalls at 2200 behind one engine may stall at 2500 if behind an engine that makes more torque. The rated stall speed of the converter is only a rough guess. You need a transbrake to find how much a converter will actually stall at.
